Red Snapper

Red snapper contains around 50% of the selenium — a detoxifying mineral — that our bodies need each day, plus a healthy dose of protein. “A three-ounce serving of red snapper has about 23 grams of protein,” White says, “and there is a lot of vitamin B12, which helps the body make blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system.”

BROILED RED SNAPPER WITH WARM POTATO SALAD

Ingredients:

7 oz baby confetti potatoes, diced

¼ tbsp non-salt butter

½ tbsp lime juice

salt and black pepper to taste

Pinch garlic powder

Pinch coriander

1 red snapper fillet

½ cup scallions, chopped

¼ cup celery, chopped

¼ cup fresh parsley

½ tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Make It:

Place potatoes in a large saucepan. Fill with cold water and bring to a boil over medium heat.

Melt butter in a separate saucepan. Stir in lime juice, salt, pepper, garlic, and coriander. Once incorporated, remove from heat and set aside.

Place fillet on a baking sheet. Brush generously with lime mixture. Broil for 5-8 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Remove fish from broiler, and serve with a side of the warm potato salad.

Pair It With the Perfect Wine: “Stay with Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc," says Roth. "I’d choose a sweeter and richer version from a hot climate, something with a bit more alcohol to stand up to those flavors and soften those spices.”
